Epic Universe Land Tour PLUS Nighttime views!!
hello and welcome to Lauren’s Travels it is my absolute pleasure to bring you into Universal’s epic universe today and let’s see what all we can experience i’m going to take you through each land show you some merchandise some food it’s going to be a fun time and the park is open till 9:00 p.m tonight so for the first time I will get to see it when the sun goes down so buckle up and let’s get into Epic this park has been a long time in the making so I’m so excited that I can bring you with a camera this time i have been able to come into the park a couple of times before this visit so I already kind of have an idea of all the things I want to show you today when you first walk through Epic Universe you’re going to have this main gift shop here on the left and going down this way will take you to the Atlantic restaurant Super Nintendo World and Dark Universe now if you’re coming into the park and want to head off to the right hand side that will bring you close to How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Burke and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter the Ministry of Magic so depending on which ride you want to hit first when you come in that’s when which direction you’ll want to take something I don’t see a lot of people talking about because it’s you know on the lower end of things compared to the excitement of everything else but the flowers in this park are absolutely stunning especially here in the Celestial Park area there are two sitdown restaurants inside of Epic and the first one here is the Atlantic uh I did get to dine here and it’s mostly a seafood menu and the other restaurant is kind of towards the back of the park next to Helios Grand Hotel and that is the Blue Dragon Pan Asian restaurant which is not open at this time it’s around 4:00 and the park closes at 9:00 so I’m going to try to dedicate about an hour to each land so the first spot that I want to take you to is How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Burke i’m going to show you some of the merchandise here and kind of go over what you can expect to see and do in this land no all right [Music] now I’m not a huge huge fan of this franchise but I can admit that this is one of the lands that is the most detailed the most colorful and I feel like it’s the most fleshed out some of the other lands I feel like they could add more rides and experiences but this one feels like it’s got everything spitfire Grill is one of the quick service locations that you can find here in Isisle of Burke and this is one of my favorite options because they have bowls that you can get for example there is a steak bowl salmon bowl chicken bowl shrimp bowl and vegan bowl so it kind of makes for a nice healthy option if you’re looking for a easy light lunch um and the prices aren’t too bad around $20 you get a lot of food for it [Music] so recently I put up a video showing some of the merchandise that I was able to get from Epic Universe i did not get much from How to Train Your Dragon so today I’m going to be showing you a lot of the merchandise that you can get here in this land they have this backpack here that almost looks like a [Music] shield and lots of Toothless everywhere this cup is pretty fun and it has like dragon wings more toothless bags some fun shorts they’ve got a lot of these [Music] uh mini coin purse things but I feel like you could put a a few other small things into it one of the coolest merchandise things I’ve seen for this area are these dragons and of course you do not know which one you’re going to get it’s kind of like a mystery unboxing but here’s a look at them these onesie pajamas are pretty cute too the show in this land is called The Untrainable Dragon and I have not seen it yet looks like the next show is at 5:30 they have a 6:30 and 7:30 so I just missed the 3:30 i’m not sure if I’ll be able to see the show honestly there’s so much to cover today but this is a really fun show i know that the dragons can fly over the crowd um this is something that they actually have already open in Universal Beijing and I do know that there’s videos on YouTube for that if you want to search and see what it’s like [Music] one of the rides here is Fire Drill and this despite the name is actually water-based with this ride you are going on a dragon- shaped boat and shooting at different targets throughout the ride experience this is the mead hall which is the sit-down dining option here in How to Train Your Dragon something I love about this restaurant besides the indoor and AC are that they have these gorgeous tapestries all around the restaurant so I’m gonna kind of just take you through and show you what they look like and you can let me know if you know who these characters are cuz I really only know Hiccup Astrid and Toothless [Music] there are so many dragons hidden throughout this land i wonder how many there are total oh is everybody enjoying their time in Burke oh yeah you’re a big fan of Toothless huh i love Toothless Toothless sorry it’s nothing like here right i’ll leave Jeremy at this we don’t talk about Jeremy that’s Jeremy he’s our hob now the thing about hop was the first creature oh yeah as long as it’s something to fun [Music] there are some home items like these coasters and a pillow there are also mystery pin boxes here so this is kind of a selection of the ones you can get this boat dragon boat purse is cool there’s another Loungefly this one’s kind of like a lenticular one they move this Viking hat with the braids is probably one of my favorite things uh merchandise- wise here in this land they also have the option for a mystery candy box with training card that’s cool almost similar to like the Harry Potter chocolate [Music] frogs if you’re into dressing up you can also get some light up wings so that’s pretty cool kind of brings like a cosplay experience to your visit they also have these dragon feet uh slippers here which are kind of funny with the little toenails another mystery pin box option [Music] hiccups Wing Gliders is my favorite attraction in this land is a fun family coaster but it does actually go a little fast i would say it is a little bit faster than the Flight of the Hippogri attraction over at Islands of Adventure and this ride you see spinning through the air is Dragon Racers Rally a ride you will never catch me on it just looks like it would make me sick but I think you do have the option to control how much you actually move around with those wings uh right there on the side of you now for good reason the restaurant behind me the grog and grl is very busy and that’s because you can get it’s basically like a garlic bread that is hollowed out and filled with mac and cheese um there are three different options the one that I got had goldfish sprinkled on top but there’s also a peanut butter and jelly option and then a hot honey chicken option this is definitely the snack to get here in Isa if you have little ones there’s also a playground area to get some energy out but I don’t know if that is something you want to do if the lines are really long and just need a little break uh this is an option for you but with how hot it’s going to be I really wouldn’t waste uh too much energy or time here instead try to get into the lines for the attractions [Music] [Music] we have had our full tour around how to train your dragon and now we’re off to the wizarding world of Harry Potter of course we are walking through Celestial Park so I am going to try to snag some videos while I’m going through this main area of Epic but this is Stardust Racers which is the high-speed coaster here at Epic it does go a little bit slower than Veloca Coaster but you can still get some pretty good airtime on this ride to the left of the Wizarding World is the first aid and family care center hopefully you don’t need any first aid but if you have little ones or need to take a break or if you do end up needing first aid it’s all right here so before we head into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter I just want to let you know for anyone new that is watching here on my channel I do not agree with any of KJ Bowling’s statements um I do love Harry Potter i grew up with Harry Potter and I have felt myself growing a little distant from the fandom because of her words and things but I can still appreciate how detailed and beautiful this area is of the park and how tasty the food is here so let’s kind of show you a little walk around of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter [Music] the setting is 1920s Paris and we can even see here a little map of all of the streets and how to get around absolutely stunning now walking into this area you’re really hit with the the grand scale of how big and massive everything is here including these art murals on the walls and whoever did the graphic design for this area is amazing because I am just living for all of these posters and whatnot that are plastered on the walls in the wizarding world cafe Laair de la Seren is the main restaurant here there is another one I’ll get to in a second but it is absolutely stunning inside i think this is my favorite restaurant in the Wizarding World um and in general and epic because it’s just so stunning there are hand uh tiled there are handlaid tiles uh tons of mosaics inside of the restaurant so the architecture and everything just screams beauty i love it here leer Aranu is the show here at the Wizarding World i have not been able to see this show yet either i’m hoping that they do some kind of virtual queue setup because if not you’re just standing around until the show opens and lately uh that could be a yes on the show or no on the show so cuz it’s still in technical rehearsal at the time of filming this power and exhale and whenever you are ready say Teranra teranra stop it stop it so that portrait back there behind me is actually an interactive one magic is making them talk to you and interact so uh that’s the first time I’m seeing anything like that in any of the wizarding worlds we do have a little dark corridor here right next to Nicholas FLL’s house so I’m going to show you a little spell at his house that I learned from Jackie over at Super Enthused but beforehand just wanted to show you this little creepy corner [Music] you really have to take your time looking around the Wizarding World Ministry of Magic because there are so many fantastic beasts to find here’s some more awesome signs i love this one that’s in the shape of a witch hat and this is for my mom i’m wearing the bracelet you gave me to bring a little Paris to my wrist as well in this back corner by that green door is bar moonshine so you can get some very strong alcoholic beverages there and there are tons of windows all in this area where you can do magic spells i’ve been able to do a few but I’m going to show you one of my favorite windows it’s actually towards the front of the park near Cafe Liar de la Seren but this is special we have Cosme Akajour here she is the wand shop owner and she looks so stylish had a beautiful day enjoy Paris my love bonjour hello nice to meet you pleasure to meet you as well guys you have a very elegant one the I did what can you tell me about this one this one the iridesence the color comes from the wings of the billywig is a magical insect and its sting causes levitation you will feel so confident wielding this wand it is as if you levitate above all difficulties oh I love to levitate that’s awesome this is a confident one for a confident and beautiful woman thank you so much nice to meet you next to Cosme Akajour is this beautiful area here i do not think you can do anything past that gate but I’m just in love with this statue up here she is so gorgeous and as I said earlier you have to look everywhere for these beasts there is a dragon up there on the sign and then we’ve got some owls here on the building for Cosme Akajour so really these animals and beasts are everywhere to be found you may recognize some of these creatures from the Fantastic Beast series and you cannot eat these but maybe in the future we [Music] can some of my favorite little creatures are up there i don’t know if you can see them but they’re little snails [Music] this beautiful pink building is the sweet shop here in the Wizarding World and they have some of the prettiest windows i have to show [Music] you it is about 5:30 and the next showing is 6:00 p.m i’m going to kind of hang around here and see if I’m lucky enough to see this show today while we’re waiting to see if the show will open up today I’m going to take you through the back area here which is where you can find the main attraction which is Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry this ride I have not been on yet either i haven’t done anything in the Wizarding World besides eat all the food and try some spells but I know that we are able to walk through the queue and so I will also be showing you that because it’s hard to tell on video but the grand scale of everything inside of there also feels massive and it just feels out of this world but look how gorgeous the building is and we do have a Bobon here because we are in France and that is the Wizarding School in Paris oh we have a a Hogwarts student also helping out here let’s see if she can help him get the spell oh yes some spitting and there’s a fantastic beast right there i don’t know which one that’s called but feel free to let me know in the comments [Music] oh my goodness it’s a boat tractor oh they are excellent for picking blocks usually live in trees specifically specifically trees that have good wand making them and they could probably help out a Slytherin that’s trying to steal some treasure somewhere yes yes i like them because they can get into trouble like That’s right [Music] a bow truck and a nippler together oh my gosh wait i love that yes I think I [Music] am not commander some would say quite honest yes Billy is our troublemaker oh and I do like shiny you do yes like a nippler that’s why there you go there you go you’re really crazy about that thank you i do anything that that helps them learn more about magical creatures of course there we go well actually there is a textbook that we’ve been using that set on the rock oh fantastic beast yes fantastic beast in my read it i have not read it it’s It’s really It’s by Newton Artist Spiderman he’s a worldrenowned magologist i’ve read so you know which beast is inside that fountain yes oh Grindelo gindelo okay that’s what it’s called water demon is the thing that wanted to ruin listen they usually live in legs but sometimes they can pub these urban environments but um don’t get too close cuz they’ve got sharp teeth they look a little slimy too yes i will avoid them yes I would yes thank you for the tip yes thank you for showing us of course that’s so cute oh what was your name so we My name’s Lauren we’ll give you credit for showing us the goat trouble for our classes awesome thank you and I’m in Slytherin if I get any points for that perhaps when I get back to Okay maybe the Hufflepuff will share bye i am getting amazing character interactions today i really did not expect that that’s another thing I love about the wizarding world and also Dark Universe there’s a lot of roaming characters so you can have some one-off unique experiences okay remember when I said I had a favorite window it’s this one because of the cute little Niffler um the spell is right here on the floor just like in the current wizarding world so we’re going to give it a go here so cute and of course the Nifflers like shiny things so of course he would be in this jewelry shop even the exit to the Wizarding World is grand and stunning just so nice we are going to come back to the Wizarding World and have dinner but I think it’s time for some Super Nintendo action now before we go into Super Nintendo World I do want to talk to you a little bit about these powerup bands i went with Donkey Kong for mine um when you get your PowerUp band it does come with this little map so you can see all the locations of where everything [Music] is and the only way to get to the area that you need to be on the app for the Power Band and view your stats is with this QR code i’m going to show it here [Music] you have to scan this QR code in order to set up your profile and also view how many coins you’ve earned see the stamps which are they look like stickers that you’ve unlocked and uh I think you also have the ability to add friends so if that’s the case I will put my uh name of course of Florence Travels um but I’ll put that in the description box if you want to add me as a friend nintendo was actually the first area of Epic that I got to explore on my first visit and my first ride of Epic was Yoshi’s Adventure but uh even though it’s a silly fun little kids ride and it’s very short you get amazing views up there of Nintendo World so let’s go check it out i think the Nintendo merchandise besides Dark Universe is the best there is just so much fun so many fun options here for all the different characters um I’m going to take you back to my favorite character which is Donkey Kong oh look at this floor here this is cool haven’t even noticed this before here is my boy Donkey Kong we have a whole section here for him love it don’t necessarily love these yellow shirts cuz they’re a little bit see-through um if you watched my Universal Stella Nova vlog that I put up recently uh you will see they have all of those inside of the hotels too this collection here is a pretty fun one too it’s kind of like all of the baddies and it’s like a neon aesthetic i don’t know i got the uh fanny pack from this collection but I love it it’s really fun heat heat wow heat [Music] [Music] donkey Kong Country is my favorite area so that’s where we’re going to head first because I think the bubbling barrel which is the food spot in here is open today using the powerup band cool the amazing music from Donkey Kong is just blaring when you walk in and Funky’s flying by is the merchandise stand here hello i have not seen him in the flesh yet but this is where Donkey Kong will be doing his meet and greets in front of all of these bananas the bubbly barrel is open i cannot wait let’s get a sweet treat before our dinner because that’s what adults can do a lot’s going on here but there are some little caramel popcorn bits this uh Donkey Kong thing right here is actually the spoon there is some pineapple font I’m guessing underneath fanta font whatever um look at that cute little gold star confetti on there and I believe it’s of course like a pineapple type of ice cream or maybe banana let’s try it of course I got the souvenir cup because I am a fiend for all this merchandise no it is banana mhm it makes sense it would be banana and it’s almost like a swirl like there’s a light white color and then a dark yellow color i’m the worst at describing food but just know this is good here is some of the merchandise that you can find at Funky Slide and Buy this shirt is super soft and I really like this jacket here it’s got Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on the mine cart it’s a little pricey though it’s about like $75 look at the size of this coffee mug it is huge like this is my drink compared to the size of the mug it’s It’s absolutely massive lots of plushies in here um we’ve got a lot of those character keychains um some headbands and of course a lot of these uh lanyard holders for your ID or your tickets and even a little uh Donkey Kong decal set mine Cart Madness is the attraction in Donkey Kong Country it is a roller coaster that makes it feel like you’re jumping the track just like you do in the game and this is probably going to be one of the more popular areas and rides for Epic going to try out Single Riders Line and see how long we wait you will see Cranky Kong and Squawks while you’re going through this attraction and look at the cute fountains the line for single riders is too long but I’m glad I got to show you Cranky Kong and Squawks at least let’s go see what else there is to see here in Super Nintendo World and meet up with some friends for [Music] dinner everything is just so colorful and pretty in this land you have to really look up and look at all the details there’s something moving and shaking everywhere yoshi’s Adventure is only 15 minutes and I do get the best views in my opinion from there so let’s go this will be the only ride that you’ll catch me filming on because I can kind of get away with it on this one but you’re not really supposed to film on any of the attractions so just keep that in mind oh here is Toadette and this line kind of reminds me of the Dr seuss attraction cuz it’s so bright and colorful but I think there is a area here where I can get some uh power up band action ah yes it’s coming up had to go under some ropes but very fun we’ll see what that unlocks later ah cool it lights up on the wall so fun and I know that there’s one in Donkey Kong that also lights up like a banana [Music] so the objective of this ride is to find the different colored eggs throughout the attraction you have these buttons here and you just press them whenever you see the egg but this is my favorite part about this ride look at these views [Music] stunning like how how cool [Music] don’t eat me please oh this is just so stunning do the five so you really get the full effect [Music] here no don’t hit me [Music] oh there’s the green [Music] [Applause] one ho ho [Music] he has the blue egg up [Music] [Music] there all right we have just the red one left and thankfully it is right here we found all the eggs yay [Music] thanks to you we found the golden egg it’s time to check out some of the merchandise here at the OneUp factory these are some of the cool popcorn buckets i know they also have one for Mario Kart and lots of plushies oh here is the mushroom sipper this is fun it’s got little uh things here too here are some more cuties i wish they had more merchandise for the girlies princess Peach is really just holding it down there’s also merchandise for Toad Stool Cafe which is the restaurant here in Super Nintendo World i’m going to see if I can kind of walk you through there because it’s super cute in there too if you’ve been to the uh location in Universal Hollywood it’s pretty similar um we just have Donkey Kong so we have the bigger area um I know Universal Japan also has uh Donkey Kong that they just opened up not too long ago toad is out and he’s meeting people he’s so short what a cutie all right Toad Stole Cafe let’s check it out this was the first restaurant that I came to [Music] like how cute so many classic characters here so just to kind of give you an overview here oh it looks like the spooky part is about to happen they’ve got some thunder and lightning and I know at a certain point that bullet guy comes around so not only do you see the spooky stuff happening outside but you can also see them working in the kitchens here making all the food for everyone it’s just so cute this is a super fun and interactive uh restaurant here in Nintendo and look at the ceiling never really looked at that before it’s so impressive another attraction here that you can go on is Mario Kart Bowser’s Challenge uh it’s fun it’s just so much and it’s kind of overwhelming when you’re on it because you’re trying to do the AR thing but also look at all the stuff on the ride around you um I will say though that my number one pet peeve with Super Nintendo World is all of the stairs there are stairs everywhere so just make sure you got your comfortable walking shoes on i got some friends to meet up with and we’re going to go have dinner over in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Cafe Lero de La Seren uh I’m going to show you how pretty that is so let’s go so this is the first entry way when you walk in you see those beautiful pastries there on the wall and then look at this ceiling those are handlaid piece by piece mosaic pies and then you’ve got these beautiful characters with some fantastic bees sprinkled throughout this is the lavender lemonade so if you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option this one is really tasty and for dinner I have had this before but I’m getting it again cuz it’s so good but it’s the beef boron i hope I’m pronouncing that right if you’re French don’t come for me um but this is a really good option it is a little heavier so I think it’s a good dinner option might not want to get it for lunch just cuz it’s so hot outside i’m here with my friends Melissa and Sel what did you guys get to drink uh we got the um the mint it’s like a strawberry mint tea strawberry mint tea and then for food Melissa got the keys comes with a little side salad and this is the beautiful butterbeer crepe so delicious lots of butterscotch flavor you also have the option if they seat you here to dine outdoors alfresco and there is the battle of the ministry let’s walk through it so we are going through the metro flu transportation which if you remember is how they travel from place to place besides a port key and this is where the magic can happen thank you here we go [Music] [Applause] oh little smoky entrance there oh love it and look at this guys absolutely stunning they really know how to make that force perspective happen and I have not been able to get onto this attraction at this time because it keeps closing or being delayed i have a feeling this is a very technical type of attraction but we can still walk through the queue and enjoy it so I’m going to show you a lot of little details these look like a lot of little offices here where different members of the ministry would work [Music] dolores is on trial today and we are here for her trial [Music] they do mention horrors a lot um which is what Harry Potter ends up becoming for his career which is kind of like a wizard police in a sense um they help solve crimes and things like that so this is a office and you can see some familiar faces here believe this is uh Long Bottom’s Paris there’s Mad Eye and now when the tile starts to get purple pink that’s a little hint of where we are going so you know we’re going into Professor Dolores on Bridg’s office and this is Higgled her house elf the best here is Higgled is arranging as quickly as possible and we found another box set so let’s see what’s mystery pins are on this collection oh Higgledy’s on there cute if you got a chance to watch my merchandise haul this is where I bought that journal for Umbrage but they also have a cute little bow with the cats and then her wand so her wand has this really pretty lace oh it’s gorgeous and there’s the unveiling a nice little pink gem thank you so [Music] much found N here of course he’s here levitating the the feather wardium Leviosa you can’t miss Helios Grand Hotel it’s kind of like the landmark for the park and it’s the first thing you see when you walk in uh this is going to be a luxury hotel it actually opens sooner than it was supposed to it was supposed to open with the park but now it’s opening I think April 16th or April 17th so very soon and next week they’re also starting annual passholder and military previews so a lot of people are going to start to see this park um so if you have any questions about your visit definitely leave them below and now that the sun is starting to set a little we can see Helios back here all lit up he looks stunning right in front of his resort and finally to round out our tour of Epic Universe I am going to show you my favorite land which is Dark Universe and it’s starting to slowly set on the sun so I’m waiting for it to get dark and [Music] spooky oh so good even better when it’s getting dark an experience that you can have here in Darkmore is actually getting a monster makeover you can do just the makeup or get a full makeover which includes clothing here is a quick peek inside of what it looks like so stunning and someone is getting their makeup done but I love the little touches here there you can see the uh werewolf and then we have or wolf man my bad wolf man creature from the black lagoon or Gilman there’s a little Frankenstein touch just so cool i love the aesthetic in here and here’s kind of a preview of some of the makeup options dr septimus Ptorius this is the first uh gift shop here in Dark Universe i’m going to show you a little bit of the merchandise inside dr ptorius is kind of like a mad scientist so we can see a lot of his little creatures and experiments all throughout the store you just have to know where to look and they have a portrait of Dr ptorius right here inside before you cash out here is the Dracula section and you can actually get your own Dracula cape and flaunt around like a person of mystery i missed this section before some fancy jewelry in here oh you can get a ring of Frankenstein that’s cool and some teeth oh these are awesome this collection has been very popular i’ve seen lots of people getting it um this is a dress it’s about $84 but there’s also a shirt option with the same print and you can also get the print in a backpack i’m coming up on Doss Steakhouse which is one of the quick service locations here in Dark Universe they’ve got this really fun little building shaped like a coffin love that um and this restaurant is like I said quick service you can do it’s called mobile ordering where you order ahead on your phone and then they bring it right to your table kind of like what we just did in the cafe here are some of the drink [Music] options and a look at the food options i’ve been able to try the carved steak and the forger salad there it is i really like the salad more than I like the steak but there are all the options for you have a good night no promises that you’ll make it back out uh-oh do steakhouse is a dark restaurant with some different lighting effects so if you are bothered with that this might not be the place for you but it is extra spooky and I love it this restaurant is run by the vampires familiars here you can see our favorite familiar in taste forever the chandeliers and the seats in here are super impressive look at this bat there are a lot of art murals throughout this restaurant this is one of them and they’re kind of telling the story of the vampires going into hiding a little bit here is another one of the chandeliers it has little bats and red lighting it’s super spooky and cool a lot of us theme park nerds were sad when they closed the Monsters Cafe at Universal but I think this more than makes up for that aesthetic this is one of the longest pictures that they’ve got on the wall here kind of showing like a war scene this one looks like it’s Dracula’s brides that are out i like that one a lot we are back into Dark Universe and it’s starting to get even darker this is what I’ve been waiting for oh I can see the invisible man is stalking about one of the options you can get is a little a Christmas tree ornament of the Frankenstein Manor there’s a whole wall of collectible toys and there’s also some merchandise for the Burning Blade Tavern which I haven’t gotten into yet i’m hoping I can see the Burning Blade actually lit up tonight but this is one of the best uh bars here in EPA some cool accessories are you can get the bolts so you can look exactly like Frankenstein’s monster and then they do have a little headband here where you can adjust the bat wings and make it fly however you want it to look like here are all of the pins and buttons and keychains so many keychains you can even get a model of what the ride vehicle looks like oh here are some more of the uh jewelry that we saw in the other store but now I can actually see it cuz it’s a little lit up more here so cool and if you watched my merchandise haul vlog I showed you some of the well my Dracula flask but this one is also really cool for Frankenstein cuz it’s got his little head on there and these are little blind box toys that you can collect you don’t know which one you’ll get but here’s a look at all of them this is Monsters Unchained the Frankenstein experiment the best ride at Epic you have to do it when you come waiting for it to set on fire but this is the Burning Blade Tavern you can kind of take a look here this is where my favorite snack is but I’m full from dinner unfortunately uh but you can get the garlic steak pretzel um it looks like a little killing steak not an actual food steak but uh yeah they have a lot of drink options this is the bar here um I have tried a couple of the drinks but honestly the pretzel is my number one thing here uh I can’t get enough of it there it is hunter Garlic Steak that’s the pretzel really good garlic dipping sauce they also have burning cheddar bites which are like basically jalapeno poppers uh charred loaded potato burning blade burger and steak grilled chicken all right this is the curse of the werewolf this is Melena who is one of the characters that you see on this attraction towards the end of the ride it does have a very fun uh entryway to the [Music] attraction can hear the spooky music playing there is a little there’s a merchandise cart that’s right outside of the Curse of the Werewolf and they do have some inspired jewelry and clothing here from the attraction the Curse of the Werewolf is a spinning coaster it didn’t make me feel too dizzy when I went on it you can hear it going over me right now um but you do get really great views of Dark Universe from this attraction and you get to see the Wolfman just a little bit on the ride i wish I could have walked you through this attraction because it is so cool it is feeling like you’re walking through an old manor and there are lots of nods to uh Frankenstein’s monster and of course Victoria Frankenstein who is the main character of this attraction i would compare it to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey as far as the ride vehicle is concerned but it is like the first of its kind as far as the animatronics and everything that you see on the ride is wow how cool you should all be gone by now all right i think everyone had the same idea as me which was to see Dark Universe at night but we did it even though we didn’t get to go on any of attractions um I have gone on them so I don’t feel too sad about it but I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you through the monster queue because it is awesome ah look at Helios looks so pretty all lit [Music] up can see some people watching stuff on TV maybe some people got to stay in it already i’m a little jealous gorgeous views here and Helios right there at the end but everything is starting to come alive with all this color i know they have several of these different lighting uh features all around the park i wonder if they glow with the fireworks show one of the restaurants here inside of Celestial Park is called Pizza Moon i haven’t eaten there yet because pizza is not really one of the first things that I want to try at Epic there’s so many food options but I do want to show you inside because it’s really pretty in there it kind of reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins this looks so cool [Music] [Music] i am a little curious of what Nintendo World looks like at night so let’s go [Music] see this park is even better at night we’ve got fun little toad stool stools throughout here that’s one good thing is there’s lots of seating options and I didn’t get to show you the entrance to Mario Kart Bowser’s Challenge so look at him how cool this ride is another one that has an amazing queue to go through there are so many Easter eggs for different Mario and Nintendo games in general so if you’re a big Nintendo fan of course you have to go on this [Music] attraction is the sweet shop open can I see more Captain Cacao oh I hope so but this is where Captain Cacao comes from he gets all of these sweets throughout the galaxy and brings them here oh and how cute you can see him as soon as you walk in he’s so cute he has a backpack he has a cup there’s a bucket hat there’s so much of him oh of course traditional pretzels cupcakes marshmallows on a stick and this is merchandise exclusive to here because I have not seen this this is fun this is the pin that I got and then they’ve got cups shirts of this place hats and bags thank you so much for watching my Epic Universe vlog i hope you all enjoyed it and again if you have any questions about your
